| | Re: Street Scene Hi All,
Guess its time for instalment IV. Here is the latest progress. I have textured the concrete sidewalk, routed the oak base, carved the legs which I wasn't sure I was capable of due to so many bends and angles, attached the arms and am ready to proceed soon as I get this post done ;O) Picture 1 is a back view of the figure. Picture 2 is a side view of the figure that shows the leg bends. Picture 3 is the figures location in the scene. Picture 4 is maybe a clearer picture showing figure placement. In my next post I hope to have some painting done. Guess I had better hurry if this one is to go to the Mansfield Show in two weeks. I think it is more likely to be ready for the Converes, IN show in July. Hope you enjoy the progress.

| | Re: Street Scene Looking good Jim!
I'm hoping you have it all done before Mansfield, I hope to see it there!
I'll be a spectator which is better than a couch tater, or is it?
Any way really nice carving thus far with lots f detail, and I like detail!
See ya,
Doug |
